User Review: Coleman Max 65

This pack has ALL the features of the more expensive names. Adjustable ladder type suspension, load lifters, height adjustable sternum strap, etc, etc. It has a waterproof internal bladder storage area that will contain any stray leaks.

Separate generous zippered sleeping bag compartment on the bottom. There are side zippered compartments for smaller items, and on the outside of these are stretch mesh pockets for water bottles, wet stuff, shoes, or whatever. Top compartment lid has two areas on zippered to access from the outside, which also contains an attached rain cover(works!), and one accessed from inside which is suitable for maps and such.

External ice axe loops and loops for other gear. This pack has well padded hip and shoulder straps that have made carry of 35 lbs comfortable! Might be a pound or so heavier than others but you can't beat it for the price.

65 liters for less than $70!
